The room wasn’t ready for check-in, and I was given a different room. However, the room provided was not clean. The pillows were not fresh and had stains and mold marks. The floors were dirty, and the sides of the beds were full of trash. I have taken pictures and will be posting them in my review of this hotel online. It is not worth paying almost $700 per night. I do not recommend this hotel.

This property has it all. Close to all activities and easy parking. Would stay here again. We visited the outdoor pool 1 day and the water was filled with sand and did not feel clean. It may have been a one off situation. Still rate 5 stars!

We stay at this hotel every year when we vacation in Ocean City, but this year was disappointing. The staff were unfriendly, there were no longer free bikes available for guests, the pizza place has closed, and our room was outdated and seemed like it had only received a quick fix. Our balcony door would only latch if we used the bolt lock on the door. I'm really disappointed with our trip this time. Additionally, the indoor pool needs some tender loving care.

The property was a good value for the money. I didn’t like that you charge for parking. This was my 15th trip to OC but 1st with you and have never paid for parking. I felt like it was a money grab and really wasn’t happy about it

I always take into consideration that the old hotels on the boardwalk will have some undesirable things but I attempt to look the other way to enjoy the conveniences being in the beach and boardwalk. However, the mold and mildew odor was very unpleasant AND we even had blothches of it on our ceiling. Other family members rooms did not have the ceiling issue, but certainly had the odor. The staff were pleasant and the pool was nice.
